D'Angelo
We had a sinking feeling that danger was lurking around every corner, waiting to pounce when we least expected it. For centuries, all the packs in our tribe had coexisted peacefully, forming the foundation of our society. But things were changing slowly.
Over time, friends turned into foes as they defended their territory, and the packs grew larger and more powerful. It started with small things, but lately, I'd been having unsettling dreams that seemed to haunt me.
Then, my clan members and I were summoned to an urgent meeting by Alpha George of the Creek Keepers. The meeting was held in one of his pack's luxurious hotels, where we had to be secretive since spies were everywhere. I arrived accompanied by Leo, and we exchanged pleasantries before getting down to business.
"I appreciate you all making the journey here," Alpha George said with a smile. "We need to trick spies into thinki
KiraAs night fell after supper, most parents retired upstairs to sleep. Although I'd been shunned earlier, I was determined to try again and convince some of the omegas who loved school that we couldn't afford to give up - not when our futures were at stake.I refused to spend the rest of my life as an illiterate omega. Education opens doors and increases opportunities, and finding good jobs was already tough for us omegas due to our limitations. I also wanted D'Angelo to think highly of me; sometimes I fantasized about him declaring me his mate, but that was just wishful thinking. I didn't want him to be ashamed of me.Among the omegas who'd backed out, I knew of five or six avid readers. I whispered to one of them, asking her to bring the others to the playground. Petra, the girl who'd been baptized in watermelon juice, gave me a cold look as she walked out. "Your attempts won't work, Kira. I'm not setting foot in that school again."I sighed, trying to stay calm. "Please, Petra,
Kira A relaxed smile spread across my face and pleasure washed over me as D'Angelo addressed the issue at hand. It was a relief to finally feel valued and protected. It made warmth spread throughout my chest.Despite my contentment, I longed for him to mark me, but his caring gesture made me feel cherished. I felt fortunate that our paths had crossed, even with the risks involved. His presence made me feel secure. D'Angelo stole a glance at me and he winked secretly with smug delight. It was clear he was doing all of this for me.With a playful smirk, his gaze met mine again, and a silent understanding passed between us. It felt like we were alone in the room, and my heart raced at the intensity of his stare. I forced myself to look away before someone saw us."Gather all the students and teachers in the main hall downstairs," I heard him command the principal.The principal hesitated, scratching the back of his head. "But some students are in class…"D'Angelo's interruption was swi
D'AngeloI agreed to go with Alexis to the hospital to find out the gender of our unborn child, and she was overjoyed. When we checked in at the reception desk, she tried to clasp my hand and even nuzzled her chin on my neck in her desperation to look like the picture-perfect couple.I felt sick to my stomach. The only reason I hadn't snapped at her was that she was carrying my baby, and I knew how difficult it was to carry another human being in your stomach. Even so, I felt like throwing up when she touched me. The receptionist, who acted overly excited, seemed to be in her twenties, judging from her face and hairstyle - a weird combination of red, green, and white.She greeted us warmly and I offered a watery smile while she directed us to the waiting area. As per usual, Alexis sat too close to me, touching me excessively, and when she leaned in to whisper something in my ear, I nearly recoiled. “I'm certain I'm carrying a boy. Isabel said the signs that one is having a boy inclu
D'Angelo Alexis's mouth dropped open in shock and her body froze. She began speaking in fragments, losing control of herself.Her deep howl tore through the air, startling the sonographer. Her face turned bright pink, and I could tell that the wind was knocked out of her lungs.“Alexis, please stop it,” I pleaded when she leaned backward onto the examination bed in a heap. She was pregnant, and any sudden movement or stress could harm her or the baby. I wrapped my arms around her gently, trying to calm her down, mindful of her condition. “Hush, stop crying,” I said, rubbing her back. Her body trembled against mine, and I couldn't wrap my head around why she was reacting so strongly.She was acting like we'd received horrible news. Although I knew she was infatuated with the idea of a boy, her response surprised me more than I anticipated. It hit her hard that she wouldn't have to be Luna.She kept crying until I grew annoyed and pulled away from her. “Stop overreacting. A child, b
KiraI was shocked to see Caleb with D'Angelo and quickly fled, relieved to escape their company. Although I had absolutely nothing to worry about, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was doing something wrong."Can you slow down?" Amari pleaded, struggling to keep up with my rapid strides. I listened and paused, turning to her. "We need to head to the store to get condiments for dinner. Your mom is waiting for us.""Is something wrong? Why did you run off like that?" she asked with a concerned tone and I shrugged, feigning ignorance. Despite our reconciliation, I remained cautious around Amari due to her past actions toward me. I would have stayed silent if she hadn't known about my relationship with D'Angelo."It's nothing," I insisted, while my heart felt heavy in my chest.Amari squinted as if she were trying to catch me in my evasiveness. "Who was that guy with the Alpha?" I hesitated, unsure of how to proceed. But silence would only raise more suspicions."That was Caleb, my
KiraD'Angelo stood outside my door, grinning, waiting for me to open it. My heart gave a stupid thump. I stared wordlessly, unsure why he was there.“Won't you let me in?” He asked with a half-cocked smile, aware of the strong effect he had on me. My mouth spread into a grim line and my crossed arms wiped the smile off his face, replaced by worry. I stepped aside for him. After all, he owned the house. Refusing an owner off his property would be a dumb move."Why are you here?" The question came out sharper than intended, but I couldn't help it. "Shouldn't you be at the festival, leading the celebrations instead of lurking in an Omega's room?"D'Angelo looked taken aback by my harsh words, his gaze searched my face and he contemplated what response to give."What's behind your harsh tone? Did something happen?”A soft curse fell from my mouth and my eyes clawed him like talons. “Nothing's wrong. It's just odd that you're here instead of celebrating the harvest with higher-ranked
Kira I felt like the most worthless piece of trash that had been thrown inside a garbage can when D'angelo abandoned me standing there.All my dreams were shattered by his actions.I felt rejected. His words continued like a broken record in my head, and his scent lingered in the air, making me feel even worse.I begged him like a fucking hopeless dog. It showed that he'd never truly embrace me in his life if he was unable to mark me?Did that mean I would never be fully accepted into his life if he could not mark me?A loud, hot sob burst from my lips and before I knew it, I was sobbing uncontrollably. I hated my weakness. It was awful to feel so exposed and alone.I desperately searched my mind in an attempt to come up with a plan of action. I went inside, put on a long turtleneck and sweatshirt, and made my way back to the veranda. I decided to ask him to reject me. Yes, that seemed like the only solution. But who was I fooling? In all fairness, I knew D'Angelo loved and cared abo
D'AngeloThe bouts of sadness I felt were beyond description. Despair consumed my body and soul.I couldn't make sense of my emotions. It made my body numb, and my soul felt as if someone had pulled a plug from deep within me. The only other sensation that registered on my radar was restlessness.I was ruining this beautiful thing I had with Kira. Her unexpected outburst yesterday left me feeling unsettled. She had every right to be frustrated. She wanted the connection of being marked—to have that tangible connection—and it was a natural longing for any mate.But could I give her what she wanted? If I marked her, it would be permanent, and I would brand her as mine for eternity. There were serious consequences to consider. She would carry my scent, my imprint, forever on her skin.In our pack, where appearances were everything, the mark would attract attention.The gossip, the judgment, the danger she would face—all of it would be my fault. People would talk, speculate, and perhaps e
My mind fluttered away, anxious that D-Day had finally arrived. Aunt Helena didn't make it, and I was sure that I would see her on the mainland.Half in anticipation and half in dread, I prayed that everything would work out smoothlIt wasn't as exciting as a competition usually is, as the girls already knew the winner, but that was the least of my worries. All I wanted was for this to be over so I could live happily ever after with Adonis without anyone interrupting uOn D-Day, we were getting dressed, and the private helicopters were already outside to take us. I felt a little sad to leave this beautiful place, so full of peace and far away from the madness and complexities of lif"What's on your mind, my queen?" Natalia joked behind me and placed a hand on my shoulder. "I need to make sure that your makeup is perfectMy stomach churned, and I grew anxious by the gazes that I would get from people, knowing that there was no way in hell my father wouldn't find out. I didn't know what
Sophia looked over her shoulder and shot Iris a glance from the corner of her eye.She hated her so much that anytime she saw her, her skin would crawl. Sophia didn't think she was capable of hating anyone that badly. Iris was an insignificant pest and would soon be crushed. She was blocking Sophia's path and stealing what belonged to her.The silly girl didn't know what was about to come for her, and Sophia just couldn't contain her excitement at the thought of watching her crumble when the truth came out.Let the show begin!A muscle tic jumped in her cheek, and she felt a flush of warmth spread through her body, making her lightheaded with thoughts of how the fool's lies were about to be exposed.Sophia had always known there was something off about Iris, and now her suspicions were confirmed—she was the Syndicate Alpha's daughter.The deceit made her blood boil, and she vowed to expose Iris for the fraud she truly was.How could she have the audacity, the sheer audacity, to partic
Iris I struggled to open my eyes, but my eyelids felt heavy, and my vision was blurry. When I finally managed to pry them open, the world around me was hazy.Confused, I closed my eyes again, trying to clear the fog from my mind. I opened them a second time, and my vision was clearer, but I realized that something was amiss.I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through my back, making me gasp. I reached around and felt a thick layer of sterile dressing covering my skin.Then the memories of that horrific moment came flooding back: the scorching acid pouring down my back, the pain that seemed never-ending.Damn it, I couldn't believe that this wasn't just some nightmare in my head—it was all too real. My back would never be the same again, all because of some jealous psycho's twisted actions.My heart broke miserably, and I swallowed hard. Whoever was behind this was heartless, and all for what? Adonis, who would never choose them anyway?They had no shame. It was disgusting how l
AdonisI was furious when I discovered that some sick bastard dared to douse Iris's body with acid.It felt like a cruel joke, a sickening slap in the face—and I couldn't wrap my head around something so despicable that could happen to a pure, harmless soul. I blamed myself for letting her leave the safety of my sight. If only she had stayed a little longer, this terrible act could have been prevented.The thought of what she must be going through filled me with rage beyond words.Machines were beeping, and medical staff in scrubs were working quickly to attend to her. My mind was chaotic as I paced around the small clinic."Dammit," I swore, breathless with rage. After they had gotten her out of danger, I was allowed to see her.I gently brushed a hair off her face while the highly skilled medical staff efficiently attended to her wounds."We've identified that the acid used is a mild form, and fortunately, it didn't affect her internal organs. She will recover quickly," one of them
🔞🔞🔞Adonis and I lay side by side on the grass. It had been over twenty minutes since the power outage had enveloped the mansion, and boy, did we love it. We had all the privacy we needed to explore our bodies. I stifled my laughter when Adonis wrenched my skirt up around my ass. He was inordinately pleased with himself at that moment, which only intensified my smile as I pulled his shirt off and kissed him softly on his chest.'Surely you're not thinking about having sex here in the open,' I said playfully into his mouth as he pulled me tighter against his naked body. He smiled as he nipped my jawline softly before kissing me harder.“Who's going to try and stop us, right? There's nowhere else I'd rather be than right here with you.”“And what if someone sees us? What if there are guards patrolling the house? Or if the power comes back on?”Adonis covered my mouth hungrily before pulling out a pack of condoms. 'Well then, I guess we'll have to hurry because I have no desire to le
The girls were fuming with envy toward me, and I noticed how they would frown and sulk whenever I walked into the room.They were unnecessarily rude, talking behind my back and giving me fake smiles, and even those who were nice enough were just putting on an act.Jealousy couldn't be hidden, no matter how hard they tried to mask it. The way the girls were acting toward me was unsettling. Their envy consumed them so much that I worried they might do something to hurt me.I hoped they wouldn't attempt to poison my food.Sitting cross-legged on my bed, I pulled out a classic literature book I had taken from Adonis' study and tried to ignore the subtle insults from the other girls.The trick was to act like I didn’t hear them, but I couldn’t deny that their words stung. It was hard to remain calm.“Let’s be real,” one of the girls, who seemed the most spiteful, spoke up. “Alpha Adonis might have flirted with other girls too. He’s probably testing to see who’s the best before making his c
The sound of footsteps outside her cell drew Helena’s attention back to the present. She tensed as Victoria, Alexander’s whore, approached her, clasping her hands together in a tight grip. The hatred Helena felt for Victoria surged to the surface, burning hot and fierce. She had never known she could hate anyone more than she hated this woman. Victoria needed to be punished for causing Mona so much pain, even up until her death.Victoria’s smirk was malicious, her satisfaction evident as she raised her chin high, wild-eyed. She looked down at Helena with a smug expression, as if relishing in her suffering.“So, how is the confinement?” Victoria asked, her voice dripping with false sweetness.Helena shrugged and turned away, refusing to give her the satisfaction of a response. “What do you think?”“You should eat,” Victoria said indifferently, setting a tray of food on the floor. “We’re just trying to find your niece.”“I won’t touch anything from you,” Helena spat back, her voice full
Helena sat on the cold, gray stone floor of the dank cell in Alexander’s house. The bastard had locked her up for three days. The stone was rough and unforgiving beneath her, seeping its chill through her thin clothing. She leaned against the damp wall, the smell of mildew and decay filling her nostrils, wondering when this madness would finally be over.Her thoughts kept circling back to her husband, Bruno. A spineless coward, that’s what he was. It angered her to no end that he hadn’t come for her. But even more than her own predicament, she was worried about Iris. The girl’s safety weighed heavily on her heart.Helena sensed danger closing in. She needed to warn Iris to flee before it was too late. She had seen the evil in Alexander’s eyes, the way he relished in others’ pain. He was capable of anything. Her greatest fear was that Alexander would drag Iris back into his cruel world, the same world that had nearly destroyed her.History was repeating itself. Helena’s sister, Mona
When I entered Adonis’ room, the lighting was dim, just bright enough to reveal his sleeping figure. The heavy curtains barely let in any light.Adonis lay still, his powerful frame resting under the covers. Despite his powerful Lycan nature, he looked fragile, as if strong medications had knocked him out.I stood there, my mind confused. How could someone as powerful as Adonis fall ill? His blood was stronger than most werewolves', making him more resistant to illnesses and diseases than any of us. Fred’s gaze lingered on me, as if he could read my thoughts. His smile was gentle, but it didn’t reach his eyes. There was surely something behind it."Don’t worry about him," Fred assured me. "It’s just stress. I’m sure when he wakes up, he’ll feel a lot better.""Stress?" I echoed, trying to make sense of it. "What’s causing him stress? He seemed fine the last time I saw him."Fred ran a hand through his hair, looking uncomfortable. He looked away and his eyes avoided mine as if the ans
